is one of the reasons why one of the first -- the first bill i signed was something called the lilly ledbetter bill. and it is named after this amazing woman who had been doing the same job as a man for years. found out that she was getting paid less and the supreme court said that she could bring suit because she should have found out about it earlier but she had no way of finding out about it. we fixed that. that's an example of the kind of advocacy that we need because women are increasingly the breadwinners in the family. this is not just a women's issue. this is a family issue. it is a middle class issue. and that's why we've gotta fight for it. it also means that we've gotta make sure that people like yourself are able to afford a college education. governor romney talked about -- he wants to make pell grants and other education accessible for young people. the truth of the matter is that that's exactly what we've done. we've expanded pell grants for millions of people including millions of young women across the country. we did it by taking $60 billion that was going to banks and lender

the late ledbetter fair pay act was the first bill i signed into law. [applause] that was the first bill. governor romney did not want to talk too much last night about how he wants to end funding for planned parenthood, how he supports legislation that would turn decisions about women's health care to her employers. he did not want to talk about it because he cannot sell it. i don't think your boss should control the health care you get. [applause] i don't think insurers should control the health care you get. [applause] i certainly don't think politicians should control the health care that you get. [applause] we passed obama care -- i like the term -- we passed it. because i do care and i want to put these choices in your hands where they belong. the fourth part of a plan to create jobs right here is to use the money we are saving from ending the wars in iraq and winding down or in afghanistan to pick up our deficit and put our people back to work, including our veterans, building roads and schools and bridges across america.

and the president obama, would go write to the lily ledbetter act. and say republicans voted against that. so her explanation is very compelling, but that wasn't the question that he was asked. >> mitt romney could have almost really used that soundbite you just played to help his argument last night. isn't part of mitt romney's problem in trying to win more female supporters, a larger republican problem? >> don't forget, this doesn't happen in a vacuum. we went through all of the republican primaries. rick santorum had his 15 minutes of fame, and contraception became a major issue, of whether insurance companies should pay for contraception. and abortion became a major issue. you had the republican platform, which has no exceptions for rape and incest. you have republicans in congress voting against pay equity. you have the defupding of planned parenthood which mittmy has spoken about. the repeal of obama care, which women are worried about. on this particular question, the president, that's why he's been in the lead with women in the double digits.
